absolutely. look. if he loses patience it would be uncontrolled flow of illegal migrants spurred by the arab spring demanding that its fellow e.u. countries share the burden of the country's badly hit economies barry. americans demand police are held to account for their aggressive use of force ask crowds swarm streets nationwide in protest. right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through bus twenty nine. six dead dozens of hospital workers trying to the tragic day of the volgograd bombing attack and looks at the new face of modern terrorism.
9:01 am
this is our she coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. is demanding the e.u. takes emergency action on the migrant crisis that has had the country were an overhaul of europe's asylum policies as well as for other block members to take responsibility and share their refugee burden tens of thousands have flooded eataly many of fleeing from conflicts and revolutions that have recently shaking the middle east and north africa most people made the perilous journey on dangerously overcrowded boats and many never make it the latest disaster so more than five hundred people drowning italy's prime minister has warned his european colleagues this tragedy would not be the last of its kind. let's now take a more detailed luke now on the roots asylum seekers are taking to europe many
9:02 am
syrians travel towards greek shores of via cherokee and the majority of north african migrants heading to the italian island of lampedusa and sicily algeria and morocco nationals travel to france or spain france is among the most populous states migrants choose as their final destination alongside germany and the u.k. but it's easily earned degrees that bear the brunt of the growing influx right now as according to current laws asylum seekers entering without proper authorization are blind to remain in the country they first arrived at and here are some numbers for you official statistics suggest migrants from outside the e.u. amount to more than twenty million people in italy every twentieth man is a registered immigrant while thousands are believed to live there illegally ingres the number is even higher as more than seven percent of the whole population now of asylum applications in italy has increased by more than one hundred percent
9:03 am
compared to last year now reports now on those who prefer a live in stateless limbo to the chaos of home. they want to buy the food from the opium to saddam then traveled to libya and finally reach sicily after what must have been the most nerve wrecking ball right off their lives these three women are hiding their faces from the camera since now they're risking being sent back when we were at sea now the boat with refugees sank into the three hundred people died but we were lucky and in sicily we managed to void get it registered it's illegal between need to go further north there is nothing for us here under e.u. regulation all newcomers must seek asylum in the country where they are right and under italian law anyone of voting registration is sent home but nowadays more and more newcomers are ready to take their chances don't register to try to go to northern states where there are more opportunities probably when you arrive here
9:04 am
they give you the very minimum there is no jobs no school and you sleep in the street for six months italy is one of the worst european states in this regard youth unemployment has exceeded forty percent while the economy is in the worst recession since the second world war international obligations and plain human principles can't allow italy to turn away refugees since for many it is the only chance for survival but the situation is now which to a point when this duty has become too heavy for it to handle on its own the e.u. has pledged italy would receive an additional thirty million euro or just over forty million dollars to deal with the refugee crisis but how will this help to distribute the more evenly throughout the union and integrate them into the economy is not clear they have been so on ideas so they bargain cherry they may be some positive development and i see embodies a lot of. good hope but no concrete ideas and as governments and international organizations brainstorm the solution one thing is certain the flow of refugees is
9:05 am
only going to continue you've got this going on italy. and the northern europe's migrant crisis and all they can do. cope with it let's now talk to felipe he's a member of the european parliament from belgium mr client thank you very much indeed for joining us here on our sheet so we know that these prime minister wants to more or is e.u. summit to address this issue and of course easily. this burden to be shared among other e.u. member states and obviously wants e.u. asylum laws to be overhauled what kind of reaction can we expect from the e.u. members. well i think many e.u. member states are aware of the problem and are willing i think to contribute to the
9:06 am
burden that's you know caused by the need to control the southern borders and also the eastern borders of the european union. but i think we have to make good agreements about who's going to do was think everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem and. when we have a european union with no internal border controls anymore it's in all it's in the interest of all the other member states to see to it that the external borders are being controlled. right but isn't that i mean the situation in the middle east and north africa does not seem to be improving anytime soon but so who should be helping these millions of displaced people if the view closes or controls its borders or whatever you say. i think we have to see to it that
9:07 am
many of these people people that are really a real refugees that they should be held in their region and that would be the most ideal situation because it's just not possible for the e.u. to accept all the refugees coming from syria from sudan from all these countries that have serious problems we can just not have them all coming to the european union what we should do is help these countries help these regions to. to to to accept refugees that to help the refugees there so that they can go back to that country as soon as possible as soon as the problems of being on the. all right interesting that yesterday the e.u.'s foreign affairs chief catherine ashton said the e.u. should use military grade drones for border surveillance or do you make of this
9:08 am
suggestion and could it strengthen border control that. i think it is a good suggestion it's not a new suggestion of course because when we are talking about front takes and. that is our system systems that are being developed right now to make the border controls in the mediterranean especially more efficient and this is about radar this is about satellite images this is about drones as well and every technological possibility should be used to control our borders to combat illegal immigration and at the same time this could also help to save lives because when we can see in this stage that people that people are trying to cross the mediterranean in boats that are just not sea worthy we could have an alert and ask the. coastguards of the southern
9:09 am
mediterranean countries to intervene directly and i think this is a good way to help save lives quickly right but don't you think there is a danger that top asylum and immigration laws will prompt protests from migrants across europe we are already saying this in in the u.k. where there was a a mass rally against immigration raids in london for instance. yes well we should adopt a more strict policy in the member states i think because one of the main reasons why so many people are risking their own lives to across the mediterranean is that even when they don't qualify as refugees. that if they even if they know that they have that they don't have a chance of being recognized as silent seekers refugees most of
9:10 am
them can still. the come in europe as illegal in and they are not sent back to their countries of origin if we would adopt a more strict policy if they would realize that it wouldn't help but crossing the mediterranean and risking their lives in the process. then wouldn't truly cross the mediterranean and that is the point where we should get people who are not refugees people who are just economic refugees well they don't qualify and we should send them back to their own countries and if we would do that they would realize that it's it's no use trying to risk their lives for something that they won't get anywhere all right south philly clients mangold the european parliament line from strasburg mystic life thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us we appreciate it. nationwide protests against police brutality
9:11 am
have been held across the u.s. actually calling for an end to impunity for officers accused of abuse who are human rights groups claim are often shouldered by the so-called war on terror and is this a trick and i reports now from one will they rally. in new york and dozens of other cities across the west a national day of protest to stop police brutality repression and the criminalization of a generation this is a time when it's the eighteenth time these people gather for this simple message this is not a job to be how they treat us they shoot us like animals and that's completely unwarranted is literally on warranted when something breaks through like trayvon martin grimm our league re-emerged sean bell it gets treated in the media like this is a isolated incident something that rarely happens and then more often it's not reported at all organizers have been documented cases of what they call the stole
9:12 am
lives project they say just over the last two decades thousands of killings have taken place by the hand of police officers they say the majority of these cases have been under reported or brushed aside hundreds every year were killed by the police that the majority of them were unarmed and not involved in any criminal activity when they were killed and also the majority of them were young and either black or latino in the mass media is a very good propaganda saw a lot of people are under the impression that people are being stopped their friends who are being gunned somehow criminals one of the major concerns for these protesters seems to be the lack of accountability when it comes to gun violence police brutality and even killings that are currently under the hands of law enforcement they see the justice system continues to neglect these cases of violence thus not doing anything to improve the system and bring about real change you have to go through hell and high water just to get
9:13 am
a conviction of the officer and what he's convicted for doesn't meet the crime to he's accuse anyone so if not he and found guilty even if he's convicted he gets out on good behavior after serving minimal time activists and families of victims called police brutality in the u.s. a pandemic they say considering the unite. states lectures the rest of the world on human rights it's time to do to follow its own example by not just words but deeds . are to you are you new york. police brutality is the subject of today's breaking this out with him and you might find some of the following images graphic has a preview of what's coming up later today for you. according to national prominence just as reference service forty three percent of cops are green always following the rules is not compatible with getting the job
9:14 am
done according the bureau of justice statistics between four hundred five hundred innocent people are murdered by law enforcement officers every year. the. border. saudi arabia america's closest ally in the gulf says it no longer wants to be dependent on its big brother because of its foreign policies riyadh is upset with what it calls a lack of u.s. unction on syria and america's warming relations with iran this new shift could bring about a variety of problems for washington there was being a possible disruption of oil sales to help us get to the bottom of this let's not talk through security and intelligence on this day you'll see moment mr moment welcome to she is good to have you with us so what you think of washington's reaction will be are they going to change their foreign policy again maybe.
9:15 am
while washington is very much concerned about this shift or the. seemingly shift in the saudi arabia foreign policy this is not this isn't not new phenomenon has been happening over the last brought up with over the last few years to three years but there is a concern in washington though i don't think the united states will shift its strategic or tactical approaches in the region. the cornerstone of the obama foreign policy was to make inroads into the muslim and arab world the policy has failed in all of france and washington is not admitting the failure of the policy and nations in the region in the middle east are very very unhappy about the us failed policy are concerned
9:16 am
about u.s. policy to make great conciliation with iran over the nuclear program and especially the saudis saudis are very very disappointed regarding what is happening in syria and the chief architect of the saudi foreign policies prints than the former ambassador to the us and now the chief of intelligence in saudi arabia and a special advisor of foreign policy and national security to the king. this harsh rhetoric from riyadh comes at a time of this seemingly soft a stance of the runs a new president over the nuclear issue can the u.s. really be criticized for wanting a better relationship with iran than. well. one shouldn't criticize united states for trying to. solve the
9:17 am
iranian nuclear impasse but defeat also in israel here and in the gulf states and above all in saudi arabia is that they would pay the prize that the united states is going to appease their ron is going to lift the sanctions. in return for just switch where the and the charm come pain of the new president of rouhani and they are very much worried about so maybe united states shouldn't be criticized but there are reasons concern in in the gauls in the region in the we didn't talk about the shift of u.s. policy regarding egypt so there are new developments in the area which are changing the strategic posture of of of the region and the saudi arabia is a cornerstone in the u.s. foreign policy are not mainly because of oil but not only because of oil defeater
9:18 am
in saudi arabia is that they would replace riyadh as a cornerstone as a central part of the u.s. foreign policy with their rapport with iran about fifteen percent of oil imported into the u.s. comes from saudi arabia do you think. not that they made it to meet him in the immediate future but it may change its not only difference of oil from saudi arabia not only defragging to saudi arabia is a major supplier of oil for america but also saudi arabia in the in the past was ready to accommodate almost any need or result of u.s. foreign policy in terms of oil when the united states asks saudi arabia to produce
9:19 am
more oil saudi and to replace let's say a shortage of oil because of the sanctions on iran saudi arabia did it now one has to also realize that america is relying less and less on middle eastern oil and is going to be within a few years maybe by two thousand and seventeen self reliant the countries in the region also realizing it saudi arabia united arab emirates kuwait and others that america would need less and therefore the they know that the central part of of their alliance strategic alliance with america is the supply of oil once america would not need the oil probably they would not need saudi arabia and they fear it and their look for new lies in the region and outside their region including russia not not too many weeks ago the prince. bandar bin

9:23 am
was in the middle of the bus which say trade life. when the boss hid everything around me when flying and from that moment i don't remember anything on the recall being thrown onto her window then suddenly finding myself on the street and in a panic i realised something had happened to my hands i was covered in blood. it was right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through bus twenty nine filled with about forty people first responders thought it was perhaps a malfunction of the bus fuel systems but aside from the shop they fell they asked themselves if this was a gas explosion was the fire. and that that was the same record in the car everybody in the blast was touching their faces and heads asking what happened what happened there was a lot of blood on them and a lot of flesh everywhere i was very afraid i got out of my car and i saw the head
9:24 am
lying there i mean my friend took a young boy and his father to the hospital the remnant of an explosive device told the shrapnel t.n.t. and a grenade the accident site became a crime scene while edgy hottest from republic of dagestan became the central focus of the investigation and then the story took another twist the attack wasn't meant for volgograd at all as the all of a had apparently taken a detour. she had purchased a ticket to moscow and boarded an intercity boss that passed through volgograd when the bus was almost at the city limits i see all of our gado and went back to downtown belgrade right now investigators are trying to find out whether this move had been planned in advance or r.c.l. over altered the plan along the way looking for a place packed with as many people as possible also under suspicion or three men believed to have helped in the plot to attack the russian capital two from dagestan

wanted for twin terror attacks there in two thousand and twelve were said to be waiting for her in moscow on his way there was a see all of us husband dimitri sokolov an ethnic russian convert to islam missing since two thousand and twelve some reports suggest the couple had an argument shortly before the attack which may have caused the last minute change in her deadly plans authorities will be keen to find her husband in the hope he may have the answers lindsey france r.t. in volgograd. if he want to know more about the trial she will go into a website and we've got witness accounts and footage and more on the ledge perpetrator including the details of the personality of the woman who carried out that time. melting ice in the arctic may be of huge concern to scientists but it's a huge appeal to commercial shipping in northern seaward running along russia's
9:26 am
north coast has opened up as global temperatures rise and is likely to prove quite a draw to vessels from asia and i spoke to people below about why it's such a big deal. well there's two main reasons for this the first one is the potential to save billions of dollars in shipping costs because the route is much shorter than say the suez canal so talking less fuel the more business trips that can be made throughout the get secondly it reduces dependency on the suez canal which is always prone to destruction or because of tensions in the. even pirates and who's going to benefit them kate this is the interesting part because one of the biggest benefit is will be russia and that's because russia has the advantage of where it sits on the map and will be able to see actually the route that it's going to be taking and it will be traveling across all these shipping towns will be able to see a ship bobbing along just there and that will enforce. billions in infrastructure
9:27 am
i'm talking about the multiplier effect as well because money will be brought into these regions and of course benefit also russia has expertise in terms of icebreaking as well which a lot of these countries that do want to get into the region don't have so they can take advantage of all of this means in the long haul competition and more commercializing the arctic in the long run and it's no wonder that you've got the likes of south korea china india is lee all these countries wanting to get a piece of the pie because we know this part of the world has a quarter of all the oil and gas reserves as well. coming up next with our special report last angels. syria's last chance as a date for the geneva conference are being arranged the assad regime may sit across
